Hsc. What do you drive? You have a lot of negative input to a few threads i have seen you post in and frankly find you tiresome.
Did I miss something? West??

Not old enough to drive yet, and anyway, it wouldn't be important anyway.
I only am negative when I think that it's a bit of a silly decision, if they love the car then fine to have the car, but I don't think it's worth throwing away buckets of cash on finance or the like for it. Same with the Focus ST thread a while back.
Your input is much appricated

Wouldn't be what I'd have done, but it's West's choice, enjoy it.
I take it the R56 has lots of power and is a lot more fun than the other one?

Well it's a Cooper, not a One, so its about 120bhp I had a drive of it earlier, it really does handle better than the older shape ONE, and it's got a very nice noise as well...

Cool, sounds like a good choice then.
I've never liked the new minis personally...never really liked the old ones either, but the cooper has more power and should be more fun, so that's fine.
At the end of the day, if you can afford to do what you've done and you are happy, that's what matters...I want money..I want a car again.

Whats baffling is, you realise you make daft decisions, then still do them.
It's not the cars you choose, both the Mini and the Focus are good cars, its just why keep throwing money away buying new ones on finance?!
Enjoy it anyway, the step up from the One to the Cooper should be good

Dealers must love to see you
Not keen on the alloys, and the Cooper I (very briefly) drove felt pretty underpowered, but if you're happy...
I already have plans for the wheels.. i'm tempted to match them to the roof, or get it lowered a little and get some Aftermarket ones.. not decided yet
Sorry my motoring accronyms suck, whats rft?

Run flat tyres. I am not too keen on the new shape to pedestrian friendly. What made you choose this over previous share cooper s?
Insurance.. it's reduced it from the Focus with a fault claim.. I can't insure a Cooper S for anything less than 2k, and that is far too much..
What tyre size are they? As the ones on my gf's mini are extortionate!
